A shocking revelation rocked the nation’s capital as Gaston B. Means, a key witness in the high-profile Senate probe, confessed to a heinous crime. The former Attorney General, Harry Daugherty, produced an affidavit signed by Means, in which he repudiated his previous testimony before the Brookhart-Wheeler committee. The affidavit, dated September 22, 1924, revealed a dark secret: Means had poisoned his wife and a friend at his East St. Louis home.
